Zucchini Bread with Pineapple and Walnuts

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Every year I engage in some insanity with friends who were in my Master Gardener's class. It actually is a challenge. At this time of year, our local farm stands sell huge zucchini for a dollar. These monsters are 18 to 24 inches long and if you dropped on your foot, serious damage could be done to your toes. At any rate, the challenge is to see who can make the best use of the dollar zucchini. The first year we did this was easy. We all had clean slates and didn't have to concern ourselves with repetitions or copy cat entries. However, we've done this for five years now and it is getting harder and harder to come up with new things to make. In past years I've worked on savory entries that could be served as meals. This year I want to confuse everyone and work my way through the sweet end of the spectrum. I made this bread just before we left for New Hampshire and it is one of the loaves that traveled with me from one coast to the other. It was given luggage space because the combination of zucchini and pineapple was a delightful surprise and I wanted to share it with my daughters. If you have not yet tried the combination, I hope you will give this moist and flavorful bread a try. I promise you won't regret it. Here's the recipe I used.

Thanks for posting this recipe, Mary. Hubby planted a whole pkg of zucchini seeds yielding 24 plants ! Do I know what he was thinking? I am sure he didn't ! LOL it has begun, with us going to have it coming out of our Ying Yangs. Family & friends have been put on alert mode. Enjoy your weekend.

My sweet neighber keeps bringing me those huge zucchini... last week I tried a recipe with pineapple and coconut and it was great, this sounds like the next one I need to try with the never ending supply of zucchini.

The Herbal Husband's favorite and pineapple is a delicious inclusion. I have a recipe that includes it. Your timing is perfect because the zucchinis are appearing everywhere! It's been too hot to turn on the oven, but maybe in a couple of days! Thanks as always for sharing your talents! xxoo Nancy
